Information processing apparatus and display method

Abstract

In an information processing apparatus, an invoice data storage unit stores therein, when receiving invoice data including a designated payment destination, the invoice data in association with the identification information of both the billing and bill-to parties of the invoice data, and a data processing unit displays a progress of processing performed on the invoice data by the billing and bill-to parties on management screens viewed by the billing and bill-to parties, and displays, when receiving a notification indicating that payment is complete from a settlement server apparatus that is configured to make payment to a designated account of the billing party in response to a payment request from the bill-to party, a screen indicating that the payment process for the invoice data is complete on the management screens viewed by the billing and bill-to parties with reference to information stored in the invoice data storage unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing apparatus, comprising:
 a memory configured to store therein, upon receipt of payment target data for which a payment destination has been designated, the payment target data in association with identification information of both a billing party and a bill-to party of the payment target data; and   a processor configured to perform a process including
 displaying a progress of processing performed on the payment target data by each of the billing party and the bill-to party, on a first screen viewed by the billing party and a second screen viewed by the bill-to party, and 
 displaying, upon receipt of a notification indicating that payment has been completed from a payment apparatus, a screen indicating that a payment process for the payment target data has been completed, on the first screen and the second screen with reference to information stored in the memory, the payment apparatus being configured to make the payment to a designated account of the billing party in response to a payment request from the bill-to party, 
   wherein the process further includes displaying folders each having a name corresponding to a status indicating a progress of the processing on the first screen and the second screen, and   wherein the displaying upon receipt of the notification indicating that the payment has been completed from the payment apparatus includes moving the payment target data for which the payment has been completed, from a folder indicating that payment has not been completed to a folder indicating that payment has been completed on the second screen, and from a folder indicating that payment has not been received to a folder indicating that payment has been received on the first screen.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus additionally functions as the payment apparatus. 
     
     
         3 . A display method, comprising:
 displaying, by a computer, a progress of processing performed on payment target data for which a payment destination has been designated, by each of a billing party and a bill-to party of the payment target data, on a first screen viewed by the billing party and a second screen viewed by the bill-to party; and   displaying, by the computer, upon receipt of a notification indicating that payment has been completed from a payment apparatus, a screen indicating that a payment process for the payment target data has been completed, on the first screen and the second screen with reference to information that is stored in a memory and that associates the payment target data with identification information of both the billing party and the bill-to party of the payment target data, the payment apparatus being configured to make the payment to a designated account of the billing party in response to a payment request from the bill-to party,   wherein folders each having a name corresponding to a status indicating a progress of the processing are displayed on the first screen and the second screen, and   wherein the displaying upon receipt of the notification indicating that the payment has been completed from the payment apparatus includes moving the payment target data for which the payment has been completed, from a folder indicating that payment has not been completed to a folder indicating that payment has been completed on the second screen, and from a folder indicating that payment has not been received to a folder indicating that payment has been received on the first screen.   
     
     
         4 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a computer program that causes a computer to perform a process comprising:
 displaying a progress of processing performed on payment target data for which a payment destination has been designated, by each of a billing party and a bill-to party of the payment target data, on a first screen viewed by the billing party and a second screen viewed by the bill-to party; and   displaying, upon receipt of a notification indicating that payment has been completed from a payment apparatus, a screen indicating that a payment process for the payment target data has been completed, on the first screen and the second screen with reference to information that is stored in a memory and that associates the payment target data with identification information of both the billing party and the bill-to party of the payment target data, the payment apparatus being configured to make the payment to a designated account of the billing party in response to a payment request from the bill-to party,   wherein the process further includes displaying folders each having a name corresponding to a status indicating a progress of the processing on the first screen and the second screen, and   wherein the displaying upon receipt of the notification indicating that the payment has been completed from the payment apparatus includes moving the payment target data for which the payment has been completed, from a folder indicating that payment has not been completed to a folder indicating that payment has been completed on the second screen, and from a folder indicating that payment has not been received to a folder indicating that payment has been received on the first screen.
